And each girl has something-or someone-to lose. But when you're a spy, even secrets between friends are dangerous. Both girls have felt as though they were living a lie in the past, so moving into the king's palace and pretending to serve him isn't as difficult as it sounds. Now they understand who the real enemy is-the Snake King-and together they can take him down. Iyla and Marinda have killed many men together: Iyla as the seductress, Marinda as the final, poisonous kiss.

Readers who love the assassin angle in Throne of Glass, the lethal touch in Shatter Me, or the high stakes of The Wrath and the Dawn will want to follow this story to the end.Ī single kiss could kill. You made me want to read more fantasy books this year.An assassin becomes a spy in this heart-pounding sequel to Poison's Kiss. Her writing style was simple, yet engaging. Every chapter left me hanging and wanting for more. There are, of course, twists and turns that will make you want to read the next chapters… until you finish the book. You might think “ Oh, it’s probably just another cliché story of a helpless girl falling in love with a boy”, but it’s not. He’s probably one of the best characters EVER.

Trust me, Deven will be everyone’s book boyfriend. She’s created to be a visha kanya *it sounds so beautiful, admit it* and she’s ordered to kill strangers and enemies of the kingdom her whole life until she met a guy named Deven. Marinda’s life was quite devastating and miserable. Why didn’t I read this sooner? Ew, Jasmine. Anyway, this was also my first fantasy read of the year and I’m not disappointed.

This is my FIRST time reading something about that and I REALLY loved it. This novel is based from an Indian folklore. This doesn’t affect nor influence my review.* *I would like to thank Penguin Random House for sending me an ARC of this book for review. And that is a thread that, once pulled, will unravel more than she can afford to lose. She begins to question who she s really working for. Then she receives orders to kiss Deven, a boy she knows too well to be convinced he needs to die. Until now, the men she was ordered to kiss have been strangers, enemies of the kingdom. Marinda serves the Raja by dispatching his enemies with only her lips as a weapon. It’s a miserable life, but being a visha kanya, a poison maiden, is what she was created to do.
